Roadside signs with quotes from scripture alongside Texas Highway 71 are a reminder that this is God’s country. And to most folks in this part of the country, that would be the Judeo-Christian God.

PRI (According to designated terrorist group CAIR’s statistics – nearly always a gross exaggeration of the facts), Islam is the largest non-Christian denomination in the state. For most Texans, that is a problem, a big problem.

Early this year, the Texas state house in Austin hosted its 7th annual Texas Muslim Capitol Day. It’s an opportunity for Texas Muslims to visit state government headquarters. A small but vocal group of protesters showed up. One of them even commandeered the podium during the day’s proceedings.

“I proclaim the name of the Lord Jesus Christ over the capitol of Texas! I stand against Islam and the false prophet Mohammed!” a woman shouted into the microphone. “Islam will never dominate the United States and by the grace of God it will not dominate Texas!”

Inside the capitol building, Texas state representative Molly White made national news after she had an Israeli flag draped over her desk and then told staff to ask any Muslims visiting her office to denounce terrorism and pledge allegiance to the US.

In the way of official action, conservative lawmakers tried to push two bills through the legislature that would have banned foreign laws in Texas state courts. Authors of the proposed legislation declined to be interviewed for this story. They maintained that the proposed legislation was not aimed at any particular religion.

But Texas Tea Party activist, JoAnn Fleming says she supported the bills because they would have helped put a stop to creeping Islamic sharia law.

“We do see it creeping into communities across Texas and we just believe that it’s important for people to understand that when you come to our country, you need to be under our rule of law,” Fleming says.“Frankly, if you don’t like that, then this might not be the right place for you,” Fleming adds.

ANTI-SHARIA legislation passed in the above states in blue. ALABAMA SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. Many other states have anti-sharia laws pending

Fleming says she is particularly concerned about the impact of sharia law on women. “As an American woman, as a citizen, I do not agree with the tenets of sharia law. I do not want it used in our courts against any women,” she says.

Mona Kafeel would probably agree with that statement. She’s with a group called the Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation, based in the Dallas suburb of Plano. Among other things, the group runs a shelter for women suffering from domestic violence. Kafeel says there is a lot of confusion about sharia law in the US.

Religion can be a problem when it comes to the mistreatment of women, Kafeel adds. But she says it can happen with any religion. “Men who need power will abuse women on the basis of religion. I’ve heard so many stories of pastors’ wives. They will quote [scripture],” Kafeel says.

Kafeel says her fellow Texans should not worry about Texas imams using sharia law to subjugate women “[Imams] understand the law. They understand the text [of scripture]. They’re not misinterpreting it,” she says. “They work with women to understand what the issues are and how to solve them.”

When her husband became unfaithful and abusive, Alia Salem says she got help from her local imam to seek advice about getting a divorce. Salem is the director of the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of designated terrorist group CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations).

In this case, the court is a panel of religious leaders that help Muslims settle personal or business matters on a voluntary basis. Salem says the court’s ruling was all about finding religious meaning during a difficult time in her life.

“When I went to my attorney and filed for divorce in the court system, I presented [the religious court ruling] – because it’s a notarized document,” Salem says. “[The attorney] said, ‘This is fantastic. I can use this as supporting evidence for an uncontested divorce.’”

Had it actually passed, this is the kind of thing the proposed legislation in the Texas state house might have halted. Any reference to foreign laws in Texas family courts would have been banned. Several states have passed similar laws. But legally speaking, many experts say they don’t do much of anything. (The idea is stop sharia law from getting its nose under the tent as it has done all over the UK)

Bee Moorehead is with an Austin-based interfaith group called Texas Impact. She says the legal ramification of the proposed foreign law ban was not the real issue.

“It’s specifically intended to hurt Muslims’ feelings (Oh. boo hoo), to promote discrimination against one particular religious tradition. The spirit of it is anti-Muslim. That’s just not something we should be engaging in in this state,” Moorehead says. (You reap what you sow, cupcake)

I’m confused. I thought that this anti sharia had passed in Texas. Did it? Notice how they once again try to equate themselves with Judaism and Catholicism? These same arselifters were charged with misrepresenting themselves as attorneys, advertising themselves as such. They had to change their ads. I was seriously considering relocating to Texas after I complete my studies, but I didn’t realize that they had such a large muslime population. Guess I’ll keep looking.

‘Friend of Sharia Award’ politicians get special bonuses and benefits. Plus 100% additional bonus for referral of colleague or close family member. Inner circle members have a shot at the Wahhabi ‘Total Sell Out’ prize draw on the popular Saudi TV show ‘Dhimmi The Money’.

Meanwhile in Arizona the PIGLAMIC counter-protest against “LET FREEDOM RING” is picking up steam. It may be that the ANTI-ISLAM, Anti-Sharia side will be outnumbered.

The organizer of the counter rally seems to be a convert too, hiding her face behind the veil.

I have a simple answer for that.

It isn’t their business.

So here is one ISIS supporter working very hard to get THE CALIPHATE up and running (Muslim Brotherhood goal)

She posted the following on her support-page but the ppst was removed after it was posted on the Anti-ISLAM FB-page:

Quote:

These islamophobes typically confuse shariah (Islamic law) with the establishment of an Islamic state. Shariah is a part of Islam and no Muslim can honestly say that “they don’t want shariah.” It guides every aspect of how the religion is implemented in the lives of Muslims. We are in the month of Ramadan right now and it is the shariah that tells us when to fast and when to eat, suggestions on what to eat and when, what is required and what is simply recommended, what is prohibited and what is simply discouraged. It tells us when to pray and how to pray and the guidelines of what are the minimum requirements, what is extra, etc. So there is no Muslim who follows Islam without implementing shariah in his or her life. Any Muslim who would oppose shariah is not a Muslim.

What these islamophobes are confusing it with is the establishment of an Islamic state where the entire political and legal system governing a nation would operate according to the shariah. They fear Muslims trying to turn the United States into an Islamic state by force. I have seen no evidence of that. Their fearmongering is really quite ridiculous. Why would Muslims try to turn America into an Islamic state when most Muslim-majority countries are not Islamic states? Mosques in America are lucky if they can even govern room usage reservations let alone allegedly trying to turn the entire country into an Islamic state. It is so laughable but sadly these bigots believe in this stuff.

As to their fears of Muslims trying to establish Islamic states in Muslim-majority lands (i.e. the Middle East) I have a simple answer for that. It isn’t their business. America doesn’t get to decide how the rest of the world lives. Not everyone on this planet wants to live under American values nor Chinese values nor Indian values nor whatever values. It is a diverse planet with diverse ideas. These bigots tend to view the world with an American and Euro-centric set of eyes assuming that everyone should act, think, and believe as they do. If human rights are what they are supposedly concerned about, they should understand that history shows that America does not hold the moral high ground. Anyone can ask Native Americans or African Americans about that. Nobody likes anything forced upon them. Just as Americans do not want an Islamic state forced here, Muslims in Muslim-majority lands do not want “democracy” forced upon them either. Recent reports have indicated that around 4 million Muslims have died in the “War on Terror” which actually is a “War of Terror.” Open minded people who know how to read a history book will find that it isn’t Muslims to be afraid of but these white supremacists clinging to their confederate flags right before they walk into churches, schools, and workplaces and start shooting. But this is the nonsense you get when people get 100% of their information from Fox News and hate websites.

This shows how AMERICAN Muslims who OFFICIALLY may REJECT ISIS (Islamic-State) may think.

Sometimes I think the longer we keep our proverbial powder dry hold our fire the crazier and more ducked up these evil astards will become. There are people out there I’m guessing who look at Muslims and may be thinking that whenever the going off on Islam and its dregs gets going that will be a sweet revenge and will have worth way beyond the long and winding wait. Stand by Mo – we will be right there.

Few important facts were not mentioned in the article (at least I didn’t see them)….is the fact that: #1-HB 562 failed (ALAC=American Laws for American Courts) in the just ended Texas Legislation because 2 of the 26 original sponsors voted NO at the last minute; #2-Mayor of Irving, TX did not mention (in video) she banned the Islamic Sharia Tribunal in her city; #3-a division of Texas Supreme Court, found the imam attorneys are not even licensed to practice law in Texas.

Bee Moorhead is dead wrong in the article on her assumption of the intent of this (failed) law: she states: “this law is intended to hurt the feelings of muslims”.

FACT: This law was intended as written: “American Laws for American Courts”.
(As no foreign law will take precedence over U.S. Constitution, regardless of which court).

I’m a Texan…and was very active in this session to get this bill out of committee to the floor for a vote; unfortunately we had 2 co-sponsor traitors that caused it to fail.

I live in OK…a quiet, but no nonsense state. We have declared it a “no Sharia state”. How crazy is that? Why does America even have to address that issue? It should be, without question, that America stands for the laws on which it was founded. Why are we allowing these invaders to affect our laws? That is the definition of “crazy”!!!

Aw, some Muslim feelings are hurt because we don’t want things like legalized slave ownership under sharia law.

You know what hurts my feelings? A bunch of Muslims advocating for sharia law which literally permits Muslims to own slaves, just one of a long list of atrocities permitted in sharia law.

Where are all the #blacklivesmatter protesters when it comes to protesting sharia law? Maybe they’d like to be slaves owned by Muslims? Because they don’t seem that interested in denouncing a legal system that would legally allow them to be captured and owned as slaves. Even saying the slightest positive thing about sharia law should be offensive to the black population than a confederate flag, but a sharia court that would pronounce slave ownership legal? A sharia court that, by definition, condones slavery should be causing riots even if they lack any enforcement ability.

Anyone advocating for sharia law might as well be advocating for the return of slavery and they should receive the appropriate response especially from the black community.

Nimrod:
The issue of slavery is important to Blacks only as a means to stoke white guilt. Can you imagine Blacks demanding reparations or payments from muslims because they allow slavery in their countries ?
The Black spokesmen are all in concert, blaming “Whitey” because their kids won’t stay in school, can’t read, can’t speak except in dialect, and are active in promiscuity and the creation of another generation of “Grandmother Raised”, welfare supported children.
They, Black spokesmen, are too busy trying to con a living out of racism that they don’t even consider the danger they are in from creeping sharia, and muslim supremacy. They don’t care, or don’t know that their descriptive name in Arabic is the same as “Slave”. They don’t know,or don’t care that even African muslims keep slaves. To them, Slavery is only something that white plantation owners fostered to keep the weeds out of the cotton.
I wish America could count on help from the Black Society to combat muslim lies and creeping sharia, but I don’t see it happening as long as “Whitey” is their greatest enemy.
